Re: Vertical Conversion of “Zilla Critter Keeper” for tree frogs This is going to be great! I can't wait to see the outcome
Hi Autumn.
I am planning on painting the trunks -only. Then attaching the the planters on the inside and using the plants ( cascading etc ) to finish-off the "folige " part on the inside.

Re: Vertical Conversion of “Zilla Critter Keeper” for tree frogs I have started painting the back last night.
I is going to be time consuming. It has to be painted inside-out. It's hard.
I will post photos soon----IF I DON'T SCRAPE ALL IF IT OFF, first!

Re: Vertical Conversion of “Zilla Critter Keeper” for tree frogs Hi All,
Sooooo, I am happy how things have gone thus far.
This is a pic of the 2 enclosures side-by side.
The one on the R is the new one.
I still have some work to do on the sliding screen/glass front, but not a problem.
I will continue to post along the way !

Reverse glass painting is going very well !!

Re: Vertical Conversion of “Zilla Critter Keeper” for tree frogs Okay - so I am in a bit of a pickle!
Below are the retro-fitted parts to the front of my conversion ready to by assembled.
The thin pcs are aluminum. ( picture frame parts)
The pc on the L has to be glued to the plastic frame of the viv. (aluminium to plastic)
The pc on the R as to be glued to the aluminium frame ( in the pic) --(aluminium to aluminium )
The hole thing slides back an forth to open the viv.
Any glue or bonding ideas?
The frogs will be able to be near to where I am will gluing or bonding!
I'm wondering if I could simply use silicone?

Re: Vertical Conversion of “Zilla Critter Keeper” for tree frogs Wow, I am not sure how I missed this post when you started it. That conversion is looking great. I am really looking forward to seeing how it looks when you get done.
Re: Vertical Conversion of “Zilla Critter Keeper” for tree frogs I am off today. I have made a little headway.
The mist tubing is attached to the mist head on the inside.
The brackets are ready for hanging pothos vines.
The hand glass painting is done.
Sorry for the glare.
AND - Will it hold water ?? I am going to fill the back water area today. Yikes !

Re: Vertical Conversion of “Zilla Critter Keeper” for tree frogs Trying out some plants in the plant holders !

Now for that water test.
I think I am procrastinating!

Re: Vertical Conversion of “Zilla Critter Keeper” for tree frogs Looking pretty awesome. Yes, I would use silicone myself for the bonding you need to do.
Re: Vertical Conversion of “Zilla Critter Keeper” for tree frogs Thanks Don,
I appreciate and needed advice on the bonding.
I did some reading about other alternatives today.
No go, everything is so toxic.
So, I will go with the silicone.

Re: Vertical Conversion of “Zilla Critter Keeper” for tree frogs I didn't notice, but did you silicone the inside lip of the plastic (was top) inside the tank?
Re: Vertical Conversion of “Zilla Critter Keeper” for tree frogs I'm not sure I know what you mean? Sorry

Re: Vertical Conversion of “Zilla Critter Keeper” for tree frogs The inside trim at the bottom and up some of the sides should be siliconed (inside the tank) to not allow water from your drainage area to get between the trim and the glass and leak out through the trim that was originally the tanks top.

Re: Vertical Conversion of “Zilla Critter Keeper” for tree frogs Oh ! Good point. And Thank You !
But- I don't use "traditional substrate".
Here is a conversation from today, or you could visit my "enclosure album"

Re: Vertical Conversion of “Zilla Critter Keeper” for tree frogs I take it you have a degree in engineering with all that you are putting into that viv. It looks amazing Lynn. Once it's done you need to do a video tour of the place.
Re: Vertical Conversion of “Zilla Critter Keeper” for tree frogs NO, not at all!
I'm a nurse who loves animals AND frogs
